JG: What if he is in the White House and he decided to order the NSA to start compiling lists of people with Islamic or Hispanic surnames? Shades of the Third Reich in the USA? If you think that it can't happen here, you are a fool!

The two guys are total nuts. They must be STOPPED from setting foot in the White House. By whatever means are necessary.

See the report that follows:

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has called for expanded surveillance of American Muslims, is refusing to rule out extreme measures that include warrantless searches or faith-based identification requirements. (The Washington Post)

A better title name for the new 2015
Robert B. Reich book would have been “Horror Stories About
U.S. Capitalism.”

American capitalism does not need to be “saved.” It needs to be
replaced with something that better serves an average citizen. Current
U.S. capitalism only serves very well the millionaires, billionaires
and extremely large corporations. Average citizens come last.

At the end of Part I, Robert B. Reich states “What I have
described is not the same as corruption.” I couldn't disagree
more. Current American capitalism is the most corrupt economic and
political system ever devised by man during modern times.

In a recent 2015 city (where I live) election a “record” turnout
was recorded by the county Registrar of Elections. The record was
that only 14% of eligible voters bothered to participate in the
election. Americans no longer care about the capitalist system that
has been imposed on them by big money interests. They vote with their feet by staying away in droves.
Only 11% of U.S. citizens say that the U.S. Congress is doing a very
good job of governing the nation.

If a major league baseball team plays a spring training game in Cuba next year, it will be the Tampa Bay Rays.

Commissioner Rob Manfred chose theRays by picking a ball out of a bin at Major League Baseball’s offices on Park Avenue in Manhattan on Friday afternoon. There were so many teams, including the Mets, the Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers, eager to play in Cuba, because of the extra visibility it would give their clubs that Manfred decided to hold a lottery.

The game would represent another significant moment in the continuing efforts by the United States and Cuba to normalize relations.

If you are registered as an Independent in the state of Florida, and you want to vote for Bernie, you have to temporarily register as a Democrat in order to vote for him. I urge you to do that. You may change it back to Independent after the 2016 Florida Presidential Preference Primary, if you so desire.

On the date Trump Plaza opened in Atlantic City in 1984,
Donald Trump stood in a dark topcoat on the casino floor celebrating his new investment
as the finest building in the city and possibly the nation. Thirty years later,
the Trump Plaza folded, leaving some one thousand employees without jobs.
Trump, meanwhile was on Twitter claiming he had “nothing to do with Atlantic
City” and praising himself for his “great timing” in getting out of the
investment. (Saving Capitalism, for the Many, not for the Few, Robert B.
Reich)

JG: Trump has already screwed the American people once, and
he will do it again if you install him in the White House. American capitalism
is no longer serving the nation very well. It is currently being run for the
benefit of millionaires and billionaires (like Trump) and for the benefit of
the large corporations.

Robert Reich wants to convince you that
capitalism is for the many, not for the few.

DON'T you believe him!

In only the first 26 pages of the
book, he gives us dozens, if not over a hundred cases, where
Americans were and are being screwed by the USA's capitalists of the
18th, 19th, 20th & 21 first
centuries.

Who is the screwer and who is the screwee?

The top 1% of the capitalist elites is
the one doing the screwing and the bottom 99% (average Americans) is
the the one receiving a huge & fat cock up their collective ass.

I will come back when I finish reading
the book for my official final sentence on the book.

Did you know that when the U.S.
Constitution was written there were more slaves than free persons?

Today slavery still persists. The
capitalist pass laws every day to continue the slavery and
exploitation of average folks. It is innate in capitalism to defraud,
scam and “screw” people. Dishonesty and capitalism are synonyms.

I will not see it, but a July 14, 1879
and its accompanying guillotine will come to the USA one day.
Capitalists should be very worried & concerned.

Thomas Jefferson said it best: “A
little revolution, every now and then, is a good thing.”
